Quick Menu Preview
Open Joomla menu items directly from the backend in the frontend
Quick Menu Preview enhances the Joomla menu manager with practical preview features. Open the frontend page of any menu item with a single click – without searching, navigating or manually building the URL.
Free Joomla extension for administrators, editors and developers
Preview Joomla menu items faster
On large Joomla websites it is often time-consuming to locate the frontend page that belongs to a specific menu item.
Quick Menu Preview adds a dedicated preview column to the Joomla menu manager. With a single click you can open the corresponding frontend page immediately.
While editing a menu item, an additional preview button is available, allowing you to open the current page in a new browser tab.
This saves valuable time when editing content, menus, templates or layouts on a regular basis.
